About the Stronach gift . Stephen Hinder made a presentation of spectacular generosity.
Wholehearted appreciation on behalf of the community was expressed. May the Saints preserve us
it appeared the sentiment was shared.
Yet a resolution to refer the gift to the Environmental Advisory Committee was approved.
As often happens, the logic escaped me.
I have heard committee members took it upon themselves to make demands according to their perception of how things ought to be.
Why an environmental assessment is required for land to be left in ia natural state as a wildlife park with a foundation fund tp maintain it also escapes me.
A check as late as Friday indicates no communication between the benefactor and the town since the presentation was made.
Not a dicky bird. Not a whisper. Not even a whimper.
Nothing. Nada . Nil. Zilch. and Zero.
Question of the day! What does it take to sabotage a million dollar gift?
While applications are made for Awards of Excellence, who is watching the store?
Saints Preserve us and Save Us from Ourselves.
The minute the proposal was made 4 councillors [ Humfryes, Gallo, Ballard & Gaertner I think ] went into nit-picking mode. About environmental concerns, light pollution, parking,,,,yadda, yadda, yadda
ReplyDeleteI would not blame the man if he pulled back. Hope he didn't, though. He's dealt with idiots before now. He can just go around them.
Pardon my sarcasm.
ReplyDeleteIt is a quiet week with no council Perhaps our net-working /mayor could send a e-mail to Mr Stronach inquiring about the proposal. A little grovel might be in order.
It is Cllr Gaertner's demand that her committee be shown All plans Before Council sees them. Maybe she ate them?
ReplyDeleteWe have to hope the Park is still planned but that Mr Stronach has been very busy lately. He really doesn't need approval from Aurora to continue working on his legacy.
ReplyDelete& we've been messing around with a wanna-be park !!
